Miomni Deliver The Paddy Power Application on the Samsung TV Platform (PRWEB UK) 22 August 2012Miomni Ltd has worked closely with Paddy Power's Sports and Racing Digital Team to apply a similar user experience that they developed for their highly successful iPhone and iPad applications to the Smart TV environment. This entailed writing a Functional and Design Specification, agreeing design wireframes and artwork, project management, application build and managing the QA process with Samsung.

Stephen Lovell of Paddy Power said: "We have created a close working relationship with Miomni that has enabled Paddy Power to produce arguably the best and most comprehensive Smart TV sports betting application on offer."

The Paddy Power Smart TV Application enables consumers using a TV Remote Control to browse available options today and in the future for a comprehensive range of Types (Horse Racing, Soccer, Rugby, Cricket, Basketball, American Football, Cricket, Tennis, Golf, Snooker, Darts as well as Social and Political events to name but a few).

Miomni has worked closely with Paddy Power's Digital Team to apply a similar user experience that they developed for their highly successful iPhone and iPad applications to the Smart TV environment. This entailed writing a Functional and Design Specification, agreeing design wireframes and artwork, project management, application build and managing the QA process with Samsung.

In addition to building the user application Miomni has built a sophisticated server side middleware 'engine' that processes all incoming types, merges them with other data and rich media, like Silks images, and then outputs standard files that the user application uses to build its views. The Miomni Platform handles User registration, sign in and out as well as account information which is then passed securely via this middleware service taking the entire load away from the Paddy Power infrastructure. This service can be used to provide data to any number of device types in the future for example Smart Phones and Tablets.

This middleware service is hosted on the Miomni Global Delivery Platform which can support a potentially unlimited number of users with its proven security model protecting Paddy Powers underlying systems.

Stephen Lovell, Online Product & Business Development Manager, Paddy Power said: "We have created a close working relationship with Miomni that has enabled Paddy Power to produce arguably the best and most comprehensive Smart TV sports book application currently on offer. They have delivered on all aspects of the project requirement to budget and to the agreed timescales. This relationship coupled with the technical foundation we now have in place will enable us to create and launch innovative digital services in 2012 and beyond."

Global flat-panel TV shipments rebounded to grow by 3.6% in the second quarter to 48.9 million units, following an unusually weak first quarter, according to figures compiled by IHS Displaybank.

Worldwide LCD TV shipments grew by 3.4% in the second quarter after a 29.3% drop in the first quarter. Samsung retained the number one slot, accounting for 19.2% of LCD screen shipments. Korea’s LG, Japan’s Sony, China’s TCL and Japan’s Toshiba made up the remainder of the top five vendors, together accounting for over 50% of global sales.

“After an unusually weak start to 2012, global television shipments showed some signs of life in the second quarter,” said Tom Morrod, senior analyst and head of TV technology at IHS. “While television shipments typically decline in the first quarter following the peak Christmas selling season, the drop this year was unusually sharp because of tentative consumer spending. The return to growth in the second quarter follows normal seasonal patterns for television shipment growth, and likely signals further growth ahead in the third quarter.”

Fishing TV has launched a connected-TV app on Samsung devices that has been downloaded more than 40,000 times globally in the four weeks since it launched.

The app, developed by VoD provider Miomni, features four channels, including Sea Watch and Coarse Fishing, which are available to view on-demand. It replicates the content available via the Fishing TV website, which is updated bi-monthly with around three hours of magazine-style video content.

Fishing TV plans to extend the app to LG, Panasonic and Sony connected TVs, and beef up the range of content by striking distribution deals with other fishing channels.

Fishing TV channel director Gareth Purnell said connected TV was changing the landscape for niche broadcasters. “We sidelined the idea of launching a channel on Sky as the numbers simply didn’t add up,” he said. “The Samsung app allows us to harness the power of TV in a way that makes commercial sense.”

He added that the app also offered the channel valuable international exposure, with the most downloads coming from the UK, Russia, the US and Germany.
